A lightweight and flexible Bluetooth headset designed for the long
haul

Commercial drivers navigate a myriad of obstacles while on the road but
safely taking and placing phone calls should not be one of them. Plantronics
(NYSE: PLT) has introduced a headset specifically designed to keep
commercial drivers' eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. The new Blacktop?
500 Bluetooth® headset cancels road noise, stays comfortable all
day, and lets drivers easily manage calls while complying with the
federal law that bans handheld cellular phone use by commercial vehicle
drivers.

The Blacktop 500, the in-vehicle version of the award-winning Blackwire®
710 headset, is designed specifically for commercial drivers and
truckers. To make an office headset work well in a semi-truck,
Plantronics engineered the Blacktop 500 to cancel out road and engine
noises that truckers incur on the road and added a convenient in-vehicle
charging system. The Blacktop 500 features Plantronics' Smart Sensor?
technology which detects when the headset is being worn and
automatically routes the audio - both calls and media like iTunes and
Pandora - from the mobile phone to the headset whenever it's put on. An
in-vehicle charging system delivers unlimited talk time while driving
and the USB connection can also be used for Internet chat or movies
while taking a break from being behind the wheel.

"Professional drivers, such as cabbies, delivery people and long-haul
truckers, have to deal with incredibly challenging communications issues
while on the road," said Lori Langona, director of consumer marketing at
Plantronics. "The Blacktop 500 pulls out all the stops when it comes to
comfort, sound quality, noise cancellation and hands-free convenience,
so that these driving pros can get the job done without missing a step."

The Blacktop 500 features:

Wind and noise cancelling microphone that cancels road noise

Internal Smart Sensor technology for automatic call answer

Easy Bluetooth controls for mute, power, call answer/end, and volume

Flexible, adjustable and reinforced headband with a cushioned earpiece
for all day comfort
